The age old discussion of "if a tree fell in a forest and nobody heard it, did it really fall?"
- fknorangesite 4y ago> did it really fall? It's did it make a sound, and revolves around the nature of what a "sound" is. The tree certainly fell.
- blooalien 4y agoIndeed. Is the "sound" the brain's interpretation of the vibrations and pressure waves perceived by the eardrum and auditory nerves, or is the sound those vibrations and waves in and of themselves, with no further "processing" necessary for it to be called "sound"? Perhaps we need another new word involved to differentiate the one from the other in discussing "sound"?
